Asked by Adam
A jet is flying through wind blowing 55mi/h at a bearing (clockwise from north) of 35°. The jet is flying with a speed of 550 mi/h at a bearing of 65°. Find the resultant of the planes velocity vector and the winds velocity vector. Also find its magnitude and direction. This represents the true velocity of the plane (neglecting resistance).

All angles are measured CCW from +x-axis.
Vr = 55mi/h[55o] + 550mi/h[25o] =
31.5+45.1i + 498+232i = 530 + 277i = 598mi/h[27.6o]
Vr = 55mi/h[55o] + 550mi/h[25o] =
31.5+45.1i + 498+232i = 530 + 277i = 598mi/h[27.6o]
